Default 2001 Honda Civic: rough ride even after new struts

Hi guys,

My 2001 Honda Civic has what I can only describe as a "rough ride" in the front wheels. When I put my foot on the brake pedal (not pressing on it), there's a roughness there I can feel. It's less at lower speeds and increases at higher speeds.

I just spent $1400+ today at the Honda dealership. They replaced:
  1. Both front struts
  2. Front lower control arm compliance bushings
  3. Motor mount
  4. Both outer sway bar end links

The ride is still the same. So I'm wondering if these repairs should have fixed the ride or if the roughness I feel in the ride and on the brake pedal is due to something else?

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like warped brake rotors to me, since it a cures when you touch the brakes.
